I don't think we'll be able to avoid it in any site where users can do their own voting. It's best to just shrug and keep doing what you've been doing.
It would be harder to do here due to simultaneously posting to multiple tribes, but on Reddit it is possible to turn off downvotes with an individual subreddit's CSS.
hmm... at this point 7/17/15 92 up vs 3 down so bit of a nonissue. if down votes make you self-conscious maybe stick to fb or something like that where favorable feedback is the only option. posting redundant content, especially something already popular in other sharing communities or presented previously here on snapzu a year ago should have earned you more than three down votes imo. i search through published snaps and comments relating to the topic i'm thinking of submitting to see if my link might better serve as an additional contribution to previously posted content. up AND down voting is snapzu's integrity and for the most part (obviously your snap being an exception) it works.
Is today down vote day or what? This is pissing me off.

I think we've got trolls.
yeah, that's why i was never active on reddit i hate down votes for no reason. If this will not get better i don't see me getting old on this site.

True but you can make it harder. Right now there is no responsibility. I made a suggestion in the down vote thread, lets see what the bosses thing about it. :) http://snapzu.com/t/blog/tribepost/M3AUCDB/up...ll-sub-systems-dependent-on-it/comments/24912

Is there some kind of troll repellant?
I agree. We are infested!
Hmm...maybe it's the observation that humans have been around longer than six to ten thousand years?

3 out of 85 now... Why bother saying anything within the first hour of posting?
You're being downvoted by sentinelese. They have infiltrated society to keep themselves safe.
Yea, I was wondering the same thing. Seems like there's more downvotes on this post than usual.
